The professor is female like the other comment said. The class was pretty easy for me. I barely used the textbook and only then for practice problems. The homeworks are short. There are quizzes, two midterms, and a final that were pretty straightforward. There were only a few difficult problems. Overall, the online lectures were pretty dry and boring but the professor does answer questions well.

This class is very easy when compared to other UCLA math classes. All the HWs and Exams are very straightforward and you can use wolfram alpha to check a lot of your work especially for the first half of the class. 2 Quizzes and HWs are dropped so you can drop the longer/harder ones if needed. Highly recommend taking this class with this professor.

As everybody says, this is an easy class. There's hardly any work involved, and it's easy to check your homework or quiz answers. She tells you EXACTLY what will be on the midterms and final, so don't study for anything that she didn't explicitly say. She's a pretty bad lecturer, and everything she says is basically from the textbook. I have one friend who would just look up the topic of each class and find a video online explaining it, and she did better than me in the class (I attended every lecture). Zehan Chao was a terrible TA—most discussions he would either not be prepared, talk about a topic not relevant to the current week's material, or just not even know how to solve his own problems (multiple times there were students who had to go up and help him). I just went to discussions to meet up with my friends. That being said, the discussions really don't even matter because of how easy the class is. I'm not sure how well I understood the material, but I did at least have a basic enough understanding to apply it to my other classes.

This professor's teaching ability is equivalent to that of a second grader. As long as you can read out loud and copy down things word for word, you would be able to teach this class at the same level as she does, maybe even better. If you want to learn anything, just read the textbook. There is no point in going to lecture because she zooms through the material while explaining the bare minimum, using confusing notation that seems very complicated at first with no explanation, and throwing random proofs and theorems at you with no logical sequential order. Half of the things discussed in class just come out of no where and make no sense when they're introduced because they just don't fit into the bigger picture of what was previously discussed, or at least the professor fails to show the class how new material is relevant until the point where you're too bored or lost to care. The tests are very easy (at least in online format) and the homework doesn't take longer than an hour (if that) to complete each week. Discussion sections could be useful as the TAs will probably be able to explain things better than her. Would greatly discourage from taking diff eqs with this professor, especially if being able to understand and use diff eqs is important for your major.

Super easy A. The lectures are basically the prof copying down the lecture notes (which are posted). Just find the example problems in the lecture notes that you need for exams and hw and you're set. She always tells what topics are on exams too.
